The last time I ever went on a family hunting trip was when my cousin died by accidental gun shot. It's an indelible memory in my mind. Back then, I don't think any of the guns that any member of our families owned, were the type that had safety devices? Us kids were up on the hillside with our moms, watching all the males in our family dressing out the kill. We were so far removed from any place to speed my cousin to a hospital. Anyway, that unfortunate experience is primarily why I never went on those types of family type 'adventures' ever again, and primarily why I don't care for guns.
